To some this may sound a little strange. Yesterday I drove the new auto for the first time.
I viewed the auto in January and as the roads were covered in snow I didn't take a test drive. Silly some might say but this little spi only had 8500 miles on the clock and the elderly owner hadn't taken it out of Norfolk. The price was right so the deal was done. I've been allowed the use of the garage so the auto has lived there until yesterday.
What a fantastic car to drive. A little heavier on the steering than my other minis but everything feels like new. I wont get as many mpg as I would if it was a manual but it's so pleasurable to drive.
In over 30 years of driving I've never driven an mini auto. I now know what I've been missing.
Roll on the frost-free days. This little auto will be my first choice drive. (Sorry golly-gosh and enchantment)
